Soru 2 : There is no sharp distinction between science and engineering. That is why engineers and scientists are often confused in the minds of the general public. While scientists explore nature in order to discover general principles, engineers apply established principles drawn from mathematics and science in order to develop economical solutions to technical problems. The work of engineers is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers consider many factors when developing a new product. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers precisely specify the functional requirements; design and test the robot’s components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. This process applies to the development of many different products, such as chemicals, computers, engines, aircraft, and toys.
We understand from the passage that ................
A) it is very hard for engineers to find economical solutions to technical problems
B) various branches of science play an important role in finding cheap solutions to economic problems
C) engineers have to focus on many variants while working
D) every body accurately knows what engineers and scientists do
E) engineers have to reach general principles first in order to develop a product

Soru 12 : The Renaissance originated in Italy for several
reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy
in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced
urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north
of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in
urban centres rather than in rural castles and
consequently became fully involved in urban public
affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its
palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less
sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than
in other European countries. Hence, whereas in
France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the
income from their lands while rich town dwellers,
called bourgeois in French, gained their living from
trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats
engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so
many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of
the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie
were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For
instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,
which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the
name suggests), made its fortune in banking and
commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the
fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such
brought about a great demand for education in the
skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most
prominent families sought above all to find teachers
who would impart to their sons the knowledge and
skills necessary in politics and public life.
It is suggested in the passage that, in the period
before the Renaissance, ----.
A) the aristocrats in Europe were indifferent to the
quality of education offered at schools
B) the Medici of Florence had been a poor
mercantile family with no skills in politics
C) France and Germany had many more
aristocratic families than Italy
D) European banking was completely monopolized
by the rich town-dwellers of France
E) no other European country had an urban society
as advanced as that of Italy
Cevap 12 : E

Soru 13 : Borborygmi happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it, borborygmi kicks in. However, hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood. Our brains contain a hunger centre, which functions as an accelerator, or as a brake for our stomachs and intestines. Once necessary nutrients are lacking from the blood, the dinner bell is rung, and the stomach and intestines come rumbling. The now active stomach and intestine aren't picky as to what foods will satisfy them, and will grab anything they can. If ever in a situation where borborygmi kicks in, and there is no food in sight, remember to remain calm. The calmer you are, the more slowly your body will metabolize the protein it has stored.
The author advises staying calm in case of borborygmi so that ----.
A) the stomach can mix and digest food without producing any gases
B) our metabolism slows down
C) the body consumes more protein
D) the hunger centre in the brain is not stimulated
E) our stomach becomes less picky

Soru 20 : Imagine an industry that runs out of raw materials. Companies go bankrupt, workers are laid off, families suffer and associated organizations are thrown into turmoil. Eventually, governments are forced to take drastic action. Welcome to global banking, recently brought to its knees by the interruption of its lifeblood – the flow of cash. In this case, we seem to have been fortunate. In the nick of time, governments released reserves in order to start cash circulating again. But what if the reserves had not been there? What are we going to do when our supplies of vital materials such as fish, tropical hardwoods, metals like indium and fresh water dry up? We live on a planet with finite resources – that is no surprise to anyone – so why do we have an economic system in which all that matters is growth – more growth means using more resources. When the human population was counted in millions and resources were sparse, people could simply move to new pastures.However, with 9 billion people expected around 2050, moving on is not an option. As politicians reconstruct the global economy, they should take heed. If we are to leave any kind of planet to our children, we need an economic system that lets us live within our means.
According to the passage, the global banking crisis was resolved because governments ----.
A) cooperated closely with the industry

Soru 24 : A songwriter is someone who writes the lyrics to songs, the musical composition or melody to songs, or both. That is to say, a songwriter is a ‘lyricist’, a composer, or both. The word 'songwriter' is however more commonly used these days to describe one who writes popular songs for others to perform than to describe a writer of art songs. People who sing their own songs are nowadays typically called ‘singer-songwriters’, although the tradition of doing this dates back hundreds of years. It is often speculated that pre-historic man must have made up and sung songs. Most art song-writing is written for somebody other than the composer to perform, although it is known that Schubert often sang his own songs at private parties, and there have been a number of composers who were also singers and wrote for themselves. Many modern rock and roll bands have one or two songwriters, often members of the band. In many cases, the lead singer is one of the songwriters.
It is possible to understand from the passage that ----.
A) even Schubert had someone else write his music for him
B) only troubadours and travelers compose their own music

Soru 29 : Recent activity in several US church communities has seemed almost unbelievable: churchgoers have gathered around huge fires and cheered as they cast Harry Potter books into the flames. They fear that the incredibly popular series about a school for young wizards is spurring children and adolescents toward a life of witchcraft and onto the dangerous path toward Satanism. For these congregations, J. K. Rowling's books are none other than the work of the devil herself. To most people, however, the Harry Potter books and films are merely compelling adventure stories, not a threat to children's psyches. But what has been forgotten in the excitement of 'Pottermania' is that boys and girls have been fascinated by magic and sorcery for generations. Surveys about magical practices among adolescents vary widely, but some indicate that as many as 44 per cent have shown some slight, passing interest in it. Although satanically motivated violence occasionally makes headlines, research shows that less than 5 per cent of young people take part in more extensive witchcraft, and very few end up in the kind of organized devil worship that can lead to such acts as ritual murder.
According to the passage, though a fair number of young people have felt a vague, temporary interest in magic, -----.
A) it has always been easy to convince them of its dangers
B) few have become seriously involved
C) they have never, in any way, been harmed by it
D) most do not even know the meaning of Satanism

Soru 39 : Humans, as do all living organisms, depend on the natural world for vital nutrients, water, and shelter. Yet, humans have a greater capacity to alter their environment than other organisms. Humans have modified their environments since they first began clearing land for agriculture. When populations were small and dispersed, the effect on the environment was limited and local. A larger population and an expanded agricultural and industrial capacity have increased human use of natural resources. The challenge is to meet the human needs of a growing population in ways that minimize costs to natural resources and living things. While advances in science and technology have permitted a deeper understanding of natural processes, uncertainties remain. Decision makers must often weigh the claims of competing interests and values, working with, at best, imperfect knowledge.

Soru 42 : Many people believed that the bone is static and inert, but this idea is incorrect, the organic and mineral components of the bone matrix are continually being recycled and renewed through a process called remodelling. This process goes under way throughout life, as part of normal bone maintenance. Bone remodelling plays a key factor between the activities of the cells osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. In the adult stage, osteocytes are continually removing and replacing the surrounding calcium salts. But osteoclasts and osteoblasts also remain active, even after the epiphyseal plates have closed. For the most part their activities have a balance. As one osteon forms through the activity of osteoblasts, another is destroyed by osteoclasts. In young adult, approximately each year one fifth of the adult skeleton is demolished and rebuilt or replaced. The turnover and recycling of minerals give each bone the ability to adapt to new stresses. The mechanism that controls the internal organization and structure is osteoblast. Whenever a bone is stressed, the mineral crystals generate electrical fields. Osteoblasts have an attraction to these electrical fields, and once they are in this area they begin to produce bone. Since bones are adaptable, their shapes reflect the forces applied to them. Heavily steeled bones become thicker and stronger, whereas bones not being accessible to ordinary stresses will be deteriorated. Therefore is important to exercise daily to maintain a normal bone structure.
It is emphasized in the passage that ____.
A) cells remove material to form a bone
B) osteoclasts are bone-forming cells
C) the functions of cells are not same in all periods of life
D) osteoclasts can not be cells that break down, or reabsorb, bone
E) the structure of a bone is immutable
